Reflecting Back in America
I have had two weeks to reflect on what this trip meant to me and what I gained out of it. Similar to the one blog post where I described when I was sitting in the park reflecting on the first half of my study, I spent the week immediately after getting on the plane…
Continuing the Positive Momentum
After reflecting on my time in Berlin, I can see the massive amount of growth I have had through the internship program. It has taken a little while to decompress from the trip because it was a quick sprint of a lot of stimuli being thrown at me in both a professional and social context,…

Reflecting on Ireland
It has been nearly two weeks since I left Dublin, and I am already reminiscing on all the memories I made during my time there. Dublin greatly exceeded my expectations, and I am so grateful for the time that I spent there and the internship I worked at. Over the past two weeks of being…
Home from Dublin
This summer, I worked as a research assistant for an economics professor at Trinity College Dublin. Together with a team of researchers located around the world, we investigated the motivations and debate surrounding the Marshall Plan following World War II in the U.S. and the short- and long-term economic and political effects of that aid…
